Class 06 — Student Ideas Diagram and Project List

The student ideas diagram has been changed to reflect last week’s discussion. Some ideas have been taken off as these are as close to final form as we can get. There are still some outstanding students who are not working on a project, individually or with a team. There may also be some changes after [...]

A book suggestion

Not long ago fellow student Mike Stephens asked me if I had any books that he could read to learn more about the methodology we will use in this class. After some thought, I couldn’t think of one or two as I am influenced by many readings — in design, ethnography, collaboration, the new science [...]

Downloads

Rather than burying download links in individual posts, I’ve created a separate page above called Downloads, where I am assembling any downloads associated with the class. In some cases I may update the content, but I will note any changes if applicable. For example, we did not get through all of Class 03, so I [...]

Website Up and Forthcoming

I have decided on a catchy, seemingly unrelated name for my website: “eat this and die”
eat this and die will be a small, story-based website where I can publish my concept art along with blocks of text telling a story. I want to allow people to register on the site and actually influence the stories [...]

Idea Direction - Guitar Trainer Concept

In thinking back on past experiences, combined with research on currently available products, I have found several major categories of information related to the idea of teaching guitar…
Lots of guitar “trainers” are CD- or mp3-based, slowing down songs for you to follow along with as you listen, etc. For example… http://www.guitarcenter.com/Search/Default.aspx?src=guitar+trainer&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Go
Some are also in [...]

Survey

I went out to the Spring Creek Campus (Collin College) last week and walked around with a survey until my idea was shot down five separate times. Students didn’t really possess a desire to look at a digital recess of such information (much less the physical bulletin boards sitting around campus), which may have something [...]

Portfolio/Capstone Prep

For an updated input on my project I intend to create short illustated story in an attempt to prepare myself for my upcoming capstone project. All of the work will be done myself and in the process I’ll find an art style that will suit the project.

The idea is to bring foreign robotics or domestic robotics to asssist in the every day life of the elderly and the disabled at a fair and a affordable price. At the current state of the worlds robotics and cybernetics technology there are two types of Cybernetics available for the world that can be used [...]

Music Video Calling Card

Project Team: Stephens, Holsonback, Searles.
My original idea was to produce low cost, good quality music videos for local bands to use for advertising, on line postings, and value added content for CDs. We’ve refined the concept to include behind the scene interviews with band members  or artist to personalize the video calling card and provide [...]

Virtual Reality 3D Modeling Hand

The original idea is to create a machine/system that would make the life of 3D modeler easier. Then later on the idea evolve into something more than just bring life easier for the modelers. The tool could use virtual in painting, drawing, and any other artistic ways. Could even evolve into something writing, working [...]

Web Comic Capstone

I want to create a web comic. In this class, I plan to collect my ideas on web comics, refine a story, do most of the prep work (some writing, character, and concept design etc.) and get the story ready for production as my capstone next spring. Ideally, I might even complete a site to [...]
